Max Verstappen has won the Austrian Grand Prix, and by doing so secured the first Honda powered victory since the company's return to the sport in 2015. Leclerc was passed in the penultimate lap and finished second, ahead of Bottas in third place.
The lap before was great racing though and that lap up to then too. If Max didnt push him off the track via touching that great racing would have continued some more. It stopped after Max did that so actually your comment is backing the wrong horse
The line was the same. If he turned the wheel and the car didn't follow, that's his fault for overshooting the corner.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 17:05Max turned in to the corner, Rosberg didn't.

On Sky most of the staff is implying that it doesn't matter that he was side by side. I think that's ridiculous but apparently many think that in F1 a driver on the inside is allowed to shove their opponent off track when exiting a corner side by side. Effectively means that we shouldn't ever expect two cars to exit a corner side by side any more because the outside driver has no right to be there allegedly and is at risk of being run off track if they don't concede.F1NAC wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 17:04Except he doesn't need to. he was side by side..

Fighting for position side by side is racing, I want to see that all day every day. Pushing people off track to gain a position is not racing.
Around 60 degree track temperature throughout the race certainly help in bringing temperature into tyres, which the RB has struggled to put into throughout the season. Mercedes miscalculating the cooling requirements for the race and as a result, forced to run conservatively adds to the broth, hence, a perfect race of lucky circumstances.atanatizante wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 17:11... and another argument about the return of RB master tyre management: Leclerc just confirmed that on Sky interview acknowledging the difference between Ferrari and RB it was that the latter has had better tyre management in the race ...

No, it really wasn't. Rosberg was almost off the track before turning , Max was turning all the way through.DiogoBrand wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 17:12The line was the same.

There was a way to make it clean. He should've let off the brakes a little bit and head straight a bit more, putting his nose ahead and making a block pass. When Leclered managed to equal him on the outside a second time, he just couldn't take it and reverted back to his factory settings
First of all, they didn't touch, secondly Verstappen wasn't fully off track. Yes, the Manouver was hard, but no comparison to what we saw today.

F1TV! It worked for a change and has both Sainz and Lando’s on boards onFittingMechanics wrote:Now if we could see how he did itSmallSoldier wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 17:13The thing is...

RB are probably kinder on tires but I think this has more to do with tire strategy, Leclerc put his hard tires on 10 laps before Max did, it wasn't a fair fight.atanatizante wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 17:11... and another argument about the return of RB master tyre management: Leclerc just confirmed that on Sky interview acknowledging the difference between Ferrari and RB it was that the latter has had better tyre management in the race ...
